How would you describe yourself?
Welcome to my profile, won't you stay and read a while. You know I didn't actually intend that first line to rhyme so I guess we will call that a fun accident. Anyway, your obviously here looking for love the same as me so allow me to tell you a little about myself. The first thing you should know about me is that I value relationships with people more than anything else. Anyone who knows me well knows that I am devoutly dedicated and loyal to the people I choose to care about. I always try to do what's necessary to make sure people I care about are happy and secure whether that means letting them borrow a bit of cash or just being there when they need me most. This isn't to say that I don't like to give them a hard time though.
I typically spend leisure time hanging out with friends, shooting the breeze, and generally mocking one another. I find riveting conversation to be my favorite way to pass the time whether its talking about something I'm very passionate about or something I am not too familiar with but have slight interest. I'm inquisitive by nature and find it easy to discuss just about any subject. One of the things I love most about meeting new people is having the opportunity to test my wit and charm, especially when I find more socially reserved people. I'm a fairly bold conversationalist who likes to see how much people will let me get away with. Few subjects are taboo for me; however, I don't care for more revolting topics that are generally devoid of any class.
In my relationships with people I try to be as attentive to the feelings of others as possible, though I really do enjoy pressing the buttons of my friends and family. I seem to possess a fair balance between altruism and sadism that allows me to be a sarcastic wise ass while still being a reliable, affectionate friend. I love learning new things about people especially when it gives me a deeper understanding of their character. I try to be very open and honest with people so that they can better trust and understand me as well. There isn't much in my life that I have problems opening up about since I'm not one to take actions that I should feel shameful about.
I'm a person who tries to resolves conflict in as objective and analytical way as possible. When I have a disagreement with someone, I try to empathize with their point of view so I can have a better understanding of there motivations. I definitely am the type of person who needs to confront conflict through direct communication. If there is a problem I will try to be as sensitive and accommodating to the feelings of the other person as possible, but I will not stop until the conflict is resolved to both parties satisfaction. As I said before relationships are very important to me and I don't give them up without exhausting every other option. On occasions when I do tend to cross the line with people I care about, I am always quick to apologize and make amends. I view problems as things to be solved through optimism and determination.
I'm an idealist, the type of person who likes to reach for the improbable outcome whenever possible. The more someone says something can't happen the more I want to see it succeed. This isn't to say I'm not practical, I don't risk things unless the rewards out weigh the losses. I simply choose to have faith that, while it may not seem like it at the time, things will work out for the best as long as I never quit striving for a better life. Life can be complicated and unforgiving at times, but I choose to view these trials as challenges to overcome.
I am looking for
I'm the type of person who believes relationships are about balance. I'm not looking to be with someone who has all the exact same interests and personality traits as me. I already have myself so I'm looking for what will complete me. For example, I consider myself to be a fairly passive and accommodating person, thus it appeals to me to be with someone with a more aggressive and unaccommodating temperament. I'm the type to plan everything out, so I'd like to meet someone who's more impulsive and adventurous. I also don't mind if the person has dissimilar interests and hobbies than me. I like to try new things and I hope to meet someone who will introduce me to things I never thought of trying before. In this way, we both learn a little bit about how the other side lives and it keeps things interesting.
On the same note, I don't want to be with someone who is my antithesis either. I would like a girl who will share my values, especially regarding relationships with people. I don't mind an aggressive temperament as long as she is kind and caring to the people she cares about. I also desire a girl who is around the same level of maturity as me, someone who is open-minded enough to talk things out when there is a problem and capable of opening up to people they trust.
I'm looking for someone who I can talk to and have a good time with. Conversation is important to me and I like to feel secure that I can talk to people openly. It's also important to me that I find someone who isn't afraid to challenge me or even compete with me at times. I'm not looking for someone who is overly submissive or dominant, I'm looking for an equal who won't mind giving me a run for my money every once in a while. Some people say they want the person they're with to be a lover and a best friend. I'm looking for a lover, a best friend, and a rival. Finally, the single most significant thing I can emphasize that attracts me to a woman is her ability to surprise me. If a girl can catch me off guard or leave me speechless, I know that's a girl I want to get to know better.
